5. And of course, profile tables down to the Census Subdivision scale.  Correction: Profiles are available down to the Census Tract scale.

Next steps for the Community Data Program will be to order the standard tables listed above at the smallest feasible geography.  We will then proceed with more complex orders, including target group profiles, the former Urban Poverty Project crosstabulations, and data at custom geographies.

Hope this helps understand what's available, and what's to come.  As always, if you have questions, feel free to drop us a line.  Happy data!
